Yes she did. I worked with the UN during the genocide and was in country from late 1994 through mid 1996. It's been almost 20 years since I was there, but on a visit with some friends I had made at the US embassy in Rwanda to check-up on an American woman who lived in northern Rwanda, I was introduced to Sembargare who was one of the caretakers/leaders at an orphanage ran by the American woman at her house. As the visit was mainly to check on the American woman (and the orphanage), we really didn't talk too much about Dian Fossey, but as he was being introduced to me, he did acknowledge working with Ms Fossey.
The American woman had been a friend of Dian Fossey and her and her ivy-covered home were in National Geographic's coverage of Dian Fossey. Also, the American woman (played by an actress) and her home were in the movie "Gorillas in the Mist". Sembagare was an older gentleman when I met him, but remember him as being well-dressed, very friendly and with a good sense of humor.
